The "reasonable person" standard [0] is deeply interwoven into our legal infrastructure. Yet as you say, courts/judges seem deeply reluctant to apply this standard to the police (there may be selection bias at play; we don't hear about the instances where unreasonable police actions are held to account). As a relatively new homeowner, I'm wondering if there's some sort of insurance I can buy for this sort of thing. (I wish I were joking.) Greenwood Village, where this took place, is less than an hour's drive from me, and isn't even a "bad part of town"; just a regular middle-class south Denver suburb.
